Default Window Problem Help Plz!!!

Ok took my car past 120 today, and noticed once I go over 85 I get this loud wind sound from the passanger side of my car ( 2002 Z06 ) and its gets so crazy past 120 my door starts to shake crazy and my side mirror looks like its gonna fall off. So after looking around for seal problems which all were fine and making sure door was closed which it was I think I found the problem, The wondow seems not to go up all the way just alittle bit so i rolled the window down just alittle more then drove it again and got past 120 and I still had the sound just not as crazy loud, but there was not shaking of the side mirror. So dose it sound like the window or is it something else, and if you have had this problem how much is it to fix? Thanks in advance.

i have the same problem in my vette i just bought, but mine actually has a little gap you can see between the window and the seal..

im guessing that you can adjust the window somehow....i have helped do it on a 69 camaro i helped rebuild, but havent had time to look at the vette yet.....BUT IT IS BUGGING THE HELL OUT OF ME WHEN I DRIVE IT.

If your window isn't going all the way up, that will cause it. Try pulling up on the window gently while it's all the way up and the door is open. Maybe there's a little dirt in the track. If that doesn't work then you might have to take the door panel off and adjust it. I'm sure there's a DIY on one of the Vette forums.
